My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hallo, my name is Swedish Chef, and I’m a 2-year-old mixed breed pup with a passion for… well, cooking and adventure! I’ve come all the way from the frosty mountain tops of West Virginia, and now I’m looking for a new home to share my love for life—and maybe a little bit of chaos in the kitchen!

I’m an energetic, silly, and fun-loving dog who doesn’t mind making a mess (just like my Muppet counterpart)! Whether I’m in the yard digging for buried treasure or exploring new smells, I’m always up for an adventure. But I’m not all about the fun—I’ve got a heart of gold and a loving side that’ll melt your heart (just like a batch of freshly-baked cookies).

Here’s what you can expect when you adopt me, Swedish Chef:

Mischief & fun: I’m known for my playful antics and infectious energy, just like my Muppet namesake. I’ll keep you entertained with my goofy nature and love for exploring!
Loyal & loving: I’m all about cuddles and companionship. After a day of fun, I’ll happily curl up next to you and rest, so you’ll never feel alone.
Adorable quirks: I’ve got a big heart and an even bigger appetite for love (and treats). While I’m always up for a game or a romp in the yard, I’ll also shower you with affection once the “work” is done.
Chef-in-training: I may not be able to cook yet, but I do love to "help" in the kitchen—whether it's begging for scraps or making a mess. Just imagine all the food adventures we’ll have together!
Ideal Home:

A family that loves fun, laughter, and a little bit of chaos in the best possible way.
Someone who’s ready for an energetic dog that wants to be involved in every aspect of life, from playtime to mealtime!
A patient and loving home that can handle my “kitchen experiments” and enjoy our time together.
Other pets? Sure! I’m an easygoing pup who gets along with other animals, as long as they can handle my goofy, excitable nature.
If you’re looking for a Muppet-inspired cooking buddy, full of love, laughter, and a bit of mischief, then look no further than Swedish Chef. I may not be the best at cooking, but I’ll certainly cook up some fun memories with you! Adopt me today, and let’s make some noise (and maybe a few tasty treats)!

Additional adoption info

Find the pet for you at the Adoption Center:
Angels of Assisi’s adoption center is open from 12-6pm, 7 days a week. Adoption Specialists and Volunteer Ambassadors are eager to help you find the pet that would fit best in your family.

Adoptable Pets in Foster Homes:
Some of our available pets are currently in foster homes. If an animal is currently in a foster home, it is noted in the animal's biography online. To meet a pet in foster care, please fill out a non-binding adoption application, and the foster parent will contact you to schedule a meet and greet once the application has been approved (generally within 24 hours).

Found the perfect addition to your family? Now what?
The next step is to fill out an adoption application. You can complete and application online (preferred) or stop by the adoption center to fill out a paper application. Adopters must be 18 years of age or older. If you rent your home, we will need to contact your landlord or see a copy of your lease to verify the pet policy. Most applications can be approved within 24-48 hours.

Taking Your New Pet Home
After paying the adoption fee and pending the approval of your application, you may take your new pet home immediately. Adoption fees may vary and can be found on our website at:
